Disney Dream has switched to pump bottles for H2O pruducts

[PrincessShmoo]

They probably expect people to take them. If their refillable and attached to walls. It wouldn’t be sanitary for them to used on multiple cruises with different passengers.

Could be. But I see this happening, once DCL realizes people are taking them. There are other cruise lines that mount the refillable containers in the shower. And have done so for years. Not saying I like them (in fact, it makes me think of a locker room shower), but they're there.

Or the top-locking bottles they have/are putting in the resort rooms.

I like that they are cutting down on the use of plastic bottles. However, I am very concerned at how unsanitary this could be. Unfortunately, if they are just screw on tops and they are reused cruise to cruise....anyone could add anything to the bottles.

We too will now plan to bring our own. The potential risk is not worth it to our family.

I thought they'd maybe replace the whole bottle (and top) with each cruise?

They look more like the heavy duty plastic bottles we have at home. They have a glasslike look but can be dropped and banged around. I can’t imagine they’d put glass on a little ledge like that over a bathtub. They’d all be broken within a few weeks as top heavy as they look.

How is it not sanitary? It’s soap.

I mean, if they are just loose and anyone can open the tops, there is nothing stopping someone from being a jerk and putting something else in there. I know most people wouldn't do something like that, but we all know that not everyone is a good person. I think I'll bring my own

They've been having this same discussion on the DVC boards as Disney World Resorts are starting to switch them over to the larger 'refillable' pump bottles as well. (Also discussions of all the things people could do to those bottles, even though they're 'locked' in place at the resorts.) Makes for some interesting reading...

Hopefully they will sell reusable bottles in the gift shop for $1 that I can use to empty the remaining shampoo and take it home.

So, if that's your plan, why wouldn't you just bring empty bottles from home? Will this be the newest FE gift?

If they can be opened by all, people are concerned about jerks putting bodily fluids in the bottles for the next guest. Ugh

I think this is a great idea. I always take the extras thinking I'll use them but let's just say when they had a toiletry donation drive at my school, a lot of hotel size toiletries were donated by me. I have purchased the body wash directly from H2O before so if I really want it, I'll get some.

Nice! I got off The Dream yesterday and we didn't have the pumps. I like less waste!

 

[dcassetta]

That was my christmas gift. A $26 bottle of the H2O Disney Cruise shampoo. Now every shower is magical for me.

You can buy the products directly from H2O+. They don't come with the pretty Disney logo on them, but you'll save money. https://www.h2oplus.com/

Yep! This is what I have done for years. Here's a tip - they usually have a great Black Friday sale site wide. That's normally when I try to buy a year's worth.

I try not to think about it or it will make me crazy. Hand soap in public restrooms could be contaminated by empoyees. Shampoo, body wash, etc that you buy at the store could be contaminated by factory workers or store employees. Food from restaurants, even beverages you buy sealed could have been contaminated in the factory. Most people are good so I don't obsess.

So all the DCL shampoo, body wash, etc that I have accumulated over the years are collector items now?

I still have some on hand and I maybe able to sell them at some good value on eBay!

Ah, but will there be any product left in them? I always use the ones I bring home.

Yes, there is.
Brand new and unused. Planned to save them for a short trip.

I am repulsed in any public washroom. I am not a germphobe but I’ll use my elbow to expel paper towels and will use one in order not to touch the door handle when exiting a public restroom. I really do not want to have to think about who has been touching the dispenser buttons on the products in my private shower and bathroom area when on a cruise or at a DVC resort. How are they disinfecting these things? Some people are just gross. My DH once saw a guy not being very careful in the men’s room at a DVC Resort, then this guy got into the pool. Two minutes later the pool was closed. We wondered if the rumors about the water changing color when urine was introduced were true. I’m okay with new dispensers for new guests, but not refilling when turning over to a new guest. I need more info to be comfortable with this.

Even it is quarter full you can claim it is "limited" edition and very hard to find. Someone will pay.
